CSB:Japan does American food better than Americans. I swore off McDonald's for years until I found myself in Japan and my friend took me to a McDonald's for lunch I had the best value meal ever! I didn't see a BK while I was there and the Tokyo Hard Rock Cafe kinda sucked. Also CoCo's Curry House was excellent./CSB

I love pumpkins sweet or savory and my friend is addicted to pumpkin spice lattes.

The ones used for carving Jack-o-lanterns are only bred for looks. I got a small sugar pie pumpkin for Thanksgiving which I used to make pumpkin pie and had some leftover for pumpkin soup. Everyone said it was the best pumpkin pie they had ever eaten.

Also CSB...

I had a damn tasty cheeseburger last night in Siem Reap Cambodia. The meat wasn't the lustworthy fat beef we're used to in the US, but *dang* the execution was good. Bun toasted a little bit, a perfect "rare," crisp veggies... the fries were equally amazing, crisp and just enough oilyness to make you crave them but no more.

On the flip side, never order cheesecake in Merida, Mexico. I think they make it with processed cheese food, the stuff they feed real cheese.
